Strong sales volumes continued in most businesses, most notably North American truck. These sales volumes were partially offset by weaker demand in Modine’s North American automotive business and its heating business. Modine’s heating business is experiencing continued soft demand in the U.S. for heating products. The company recorded $3.6 million in repositioning charges in the quarter that were essentially offset by a $2.9 million purchase price settlement related to Modine’s acquisition of WiniaMando’s automotive climate control division in July, 2004. Underlying earnings were positively impacted by strong volume growth and improved operating efficiencies due to better utilization of our manufacturing operations, but were more than offset by continued margin pressure from customer pricing and the cost of raw materials.
In commenting on the quarter, David B. Rayburn, Modine President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We made solid progress on our five-point plan to improve margins and meet our growth and return on average capital employed (ROACE)(i) goals. As expected, we are beginning to realize the benefits from our repositioning efforts, evidenced by a modest decrease in our underlying selling, general and administrative expenses. As we’ve discussed, our plan is to reduce these expenses by $20 million, or 10 percent, on an annualized basis. This program is designed to reduce overhead costs while we add more resources to support our efforts to develop new technologies and invest in research for our customers. We also made solid progress in realigning our manufacturing footprint. We announced the closure of our Toledo, Ohio facility and announced that we will be investing in new facilities in Mexico, China, India and Hungary to meet growing global demand for our products.”
Rayburn updated Modine’s nine-month progress with its five-point plan to improve margins and improve its ROACE. The elements of the plan and the company’s progress are as follows:
- Reduce selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses by $20 million. In the first nine months of this fiscal year, the company reduced its administrative staff in the U.S. through a combination of an early retirement program and a reduction in force, and reconfigured its internal structure to simplify and flatten the organization, and to improve its focus on new product development, regional operations management and global customers’ needs. Modine has also taken steps to reduce overhead costs in Korea and plans other similar actions in Europe and Brazil.
- Reposition the manufacturing footprint with a focus on low cost countries. The company announced plans to close three plants in the U.S. and construct new plants in China and India to serve the Asian domestic markets, a new plant in Hungary to serve growing commercial and off-highway customer demand in Europe, and a plant in Mexico, to serve customers in North America.
- Diversify. Modine announced business wins to further diversify its customer base with its announced new programs with Hyundai Kia and Daedong Industrial Co., Ltd. in Korea, and with SANY Heavy Industry Holding Co. in China.
- Increase low cost country sourcing. The company’s initiatives are progressing as it increasingly sources products and components from areas that will enable margin improvement. Currently, Modine sources 10 to 15 percent of its components and materials from low cost countries and expects to grow that percentage to approximately 40 percent in the next five years.
- Increase focus on technology development. Modine announced that it will provide the cooling modules for the first hydrogen powered (fuel cell) buses in Brazil. The company will be cooling the buses’ fuel cell systems and their electric drive train components. Modine also introduced new green technology, an Idle-Off Demonstrator with fuel cells and CO2, to enable heavy truck customers cut emissions and reduce costs. Additionally the company rolled out numerous advanced technology applications to support the stricter 2007 U.S. emissions laws.
Other Third Quarter Items
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)(i) was $39.4 million, which decreased slightly from the $42.1 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
- The company completed a private placement of $75.0 million of 5.68 percent senior notes with a group of investors. Borrowing rates were in line with other diversified industrial companies of comparable credit quality.
Third quarter sales from continuing operations reached a record $467.9 million, a 13.8 percent improvement from $411.0 million in the third fiscal 2006 quarter. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate changes, underlying sales grew by $17.7 million, or 4.3 percent. Sales volumes were positively impacted by strength in the truck and heavy-duty markets, as well as revenues from the May 2006 acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of Modine Brazil that the company did not already own. Net earnings from continuing operations of $16.3 million increased from $13.1 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by improved operating efficiencies across the manufacturing platform, as well as a lower effective income tax rate due to the recent extension of the R&D tax credit and changing mix of taxable income versus permanent tax deductions. These factors were partially offset by higher commodity pricing, customer pricing pressure from vehicular customers, and a $3.6 million repositioning charge.
Operating cash flow for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $33.7 million versus $47.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. ROACE for the four quarters ended December 26, 2006 was 7.7 percent compared with 9.2 percent for the same period a year ago and 9.7 percent at the end of fiscal 2006.
Third quarter fiscal 2007 SG&A expenses decreased $1.6 million from fiscal 2006, excluding the impact of $2.0 million of repositioning costs and the $3.5 million impact from the company’s acquisition of Modine Brazil. This decrease is primarily driven by the favorable benefits from our overhead cost reduction plan. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased from 14.0 percent to 12.6 percent – excluding the impact of the items mentioned above. The company expects to realize continued benefits from its programs to reduce SG&A costs in its upcoming quarters.
Third Quarter Segment Data and Performance
Third quarter sales for the Original Equipment - Americas segment increased $32.5 million, or 20.1 percent, to $194.0 million from $161.6 million reported one year ago, with operating income of $12.5 million versus $16.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The truck and the heavy-duty businesses both reported solid revenue improvements, partially offset by a decline in North American automotive sales. Sales attributable to Modine Brazil had a $23.3 million positive impact on quarterly sales results. Operating income was down in the automotive and truck businesses, due to continued pricing pressure and the effect of higher raw material costs, as well as $1.5 million in pre-tax costs incurred in the company’s repositioning efforts. These decreases were partially offset by improved operating performance.
Third quarter sales for the Original Equipment - Europe segment increased 9.6 percent to $154.4 million from $140.9 million one year ago, due to the positive effect of foreign currency on the business as well as modest growth within these businesses. Operating income was $18.0 million versus $20.0 million last year. The revenue growth within the business coupled with improved operating performance was more than offset by product mix and customer pricing pressure.
Sales for the Original Equipment - Asia segment in the third quarter increased 30.1 percent to $62.3 million from $47.9 million one year ago, with operating income of $2.3 million versus $0.8 million in fiscal 2006, due to the positive impact of foreign currency as well as improved volumes following strikes in the previous quarter. Results were also positively impacted by a $2.9 million purchase price settlement in the quarter related to Modine’s acquisition of WiniaMando’s automotive climate control division in July, 2004.
Sales for the Commercial Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (Commercial HVAC&R) segment decreased 4.5 percent to $50.4 million from $52.8 million and operating income decreased to $4.3 million from $6.7 million in fiscal 2006. These decreases were driven by warmer weather and higher energy prices that lead to softer demand for higher margin heating products in North America. In addition, the decrease relates to short-term costs incurred as we introduce the Airedale products into the U.S. market.
Sales for the Other segment were $11.7 million, up from $9.4 million one year ago, with operating income of $0.2 million versus an operating loss of ($2.4) million in fiscal 2006. The operating loss in the prior year was related to Modine’s Taiwan operations that ceased production in July 2006. With the closing of that facility, Modine’s remaining Electronics Cooling business is operating at a breakeven level with progress towards profitability expected.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
In commenting on the company’s financial position, Bradley C. Richardson, Modine’s Executive Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer said, “We ended the third quarter with a solid balance sheet and a conservative debt to capital ratio. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, we funded $60.4 million of capital expenditures in support of new business, and paid a per-share dividend in the amount of approximately $17.0 million. Our cash balance at the end of December 2006 was $19.1 million, compared to $30.8 million at the end of the 2006 fiscal year. We remain focused on minimizing our on-hand cash balances by investing in the business and providing returns to our shareholders. I’m particularly pleased that demand was high and pricing was very favorable for our $75 million private placement of senior notes. It’s encouraging to know that the debt markets recognize and value Modine as a global diversified industrial manufacturing company.”
Operating cash flow was $67.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared with $97.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 due to increased working capital needs and declining year-to-date financial performance. Total debt at the end of the fiscal 2007 third quarter was $187.7 million, compared with $157.8 million at the end of fiscal 2006. The total debt to capital (total debt plus shareholders’ equity) ratio increased to 25.5 percent, compared with 23.8 percent at the end of fiscal 2006. The increase in Modine’s debt level in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 is primarily attributable to the company’s acquisition of its remaining 50 percent of Modine Brazil. Additionally, the company repurchased $12.1 million of its outstanding stock in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, comprised of 453,700 shares, at a weighted average price of $26.60.
Working capital of $154.7 million at the end of the fiscal 2007 third quarter was higher than the balance of $117.2 million at last fiscal year end primarily due to assets capitalized in conjunction with the company’s acquisition of Modine Brazil and increased working capital needs.
Fiscal 2007 Outlook
In commenting on Modine’s fiscal 2007 results and outlook for the fourth quarter, Mr. Rayburn said, “I’m very pleased with the progress we’ve made this year on our five-point plan to increase our profitability and returns. Looking back on the past nine months, we’ve made significant progress lowering our SG&A costs, repositioning our manufacturing footprint to lower cost areas, diversifying our customers and markets, and developing new technologies. There is more to do, but it’s encouraging that we’re already seeing progress with our SG&A goal and winning new business, which is, after all, the reason we have embarked on our repositioning journey.
Despite solid progress with our repositioning program and reporting respectable third quarter results, we are facing the headwind of lower volumes that will affect year-over-year comparable fourth quarter results.”
Factors affecting Modine’s fourth quarter include:
- As expected, volumes, particularly in the company’s U.S. truck business, will be down on both a year-over-year and on a sequential basis. While truck volumes will be down in fiscal 2008 all year, the company has partially offset this decline by securing new business from Freightliner that has significantly increased Modine’s share of the U.S. truck market.
- The benefit from this market share gain will not be realized until the first quarter of fiscal 2008, as the start-up of the Freightliner business has been slow. They have, like other truck manufacturers, banked engines in anticipation of the January 1, 2007 emission law change, and have slowed their ramp-up of business to compensate.
- The company also anticipates further restructuring actions that will affect its fourth quarter results. These actions are part of Modine’s plan to increase margins and meet its growth and ROACE goals.
Rayburn added, “I remain confident that our repositioning plan will make the company a more cost competitive, innovative and efficient technology provider to our customers and will have built a larger backlog of business.”
